Jumpsuited

IMG_3803
Jumpsuit: Target (exactly); Blazer: H&M; Wedges: Target; Earrings: Buffalo Exchange; 
Necklace: Target 

This jumpsuit is outside of my skirt/dress/jeans comfort zone but it's growing on me...
I don't feel like drastic changes in my style are necessary (or good for my budget), but gradual tweaks are sometimes fun.

What do you wear that's out of your regular fashion comfort zone?

Color Jolt


cobalt dress and white blazer 2
Blazer: H&M (old, similar); Dress: F21; Sandals: Loft (similar); Necklace: ?; Earrings: swapped

For the past two weeks I've given up caffeine (for a 30 day personal challenge), so I rely on my clothes to give me a colorful jolt instead of reaching for a Starbucks brew for a caffeine jolt.  I miss coffee though I could live without it indefinitely, but I would never take a hiatus from wearing colorful clothes.

Coral and White

Dress: Buffalo Exchange (similar); Belt: UO; Blazer: H&M; Shoes: Target; Bracelets/Ring: H&M

 When I set my eyes on this coral polka dot dress the other day I had to wear it, though its maxi length makes it more suitable for weekends.  I made this weekend-ish dress work-appropriate with a blazer and belt to bring up the length.  I find that blazer and belt can make most dresses mid-length or maxi length dresses work appropriate.

Printed and Tropical

Blazer: H&M (old); Floral Jeans: thrifted (similar); Tank: F21 (old); Clutch: Loft (old); 
Necklace: thrifted; Bracelets/Ring: H&M
Though I wear jeans regularly, I don't really consider myself to be a "denim person." I'd much rather  wear a skirt or dress than jeans.  I had my fill of wearing jeans daily in college.  For this reason, it took me a while to embrace colored jeans and I'm just starting to come around to liking printed jeans.  But I couldn't resist these Ralph Lauren floral jeans I found in a thrift store during the winter. These jeans were probably meant to be cropped jeans on a taller lady, but they fit me perfectly as regular length jeans.  The jeans have a higher waist-line and are more generously cut than I prefer my jeans to be, but it's fun to indulge in a trend without busting the budget.  These jeans have a tropical feel to them which is appropriate because I'd love to be in a tropical locale on vacation right now. But until I make that a reality, it's fun to look down at my colorful pants.

Tawny Earth Tones

It's appropriate to wear earth tones during Earth Month, right?
  I love the bright colors, florals, and prints that are in style for this season, but neutral and earth tone pieces like this skirt and blazer will always be my standbys.
